The celebrity couple hit headlines on Tuesday when a statement posted on Paltrow’s Goop.com website confirmed they had parted ways after a decade of marriage.

It has now emerged the news broke while the stars reportedly enjoyed a luxury holiday together with their two children, Apple, 9, and Moses, 7, on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.

A source tells Dailymail.co.uk, “Going away together may seem unusual but that’s Gwyneth and Chris. Foremost they want the kids to see they mean business about remaining a family, and another … they want to miss the fallout. … They’re communicating again, they’re having a glass of wine together and a laugh and were actually looking forward to the holiday.”
